17-01-2009 11:34

Camping on the roof
On Sunday 11th January, I went and visited the Raytheon campers . Unfortunately the police have been a little more heavy-handed of late, so I couldn't stop and chat for long.

Still, spirits seem to be high, the camp grows day-by-day (see the photos), and there is every reason to believe that the campers will win this battle, and Raytheon will be driven out...

Gaza : A New Middle East Indeed

17-01-2009 10:24

The 'New Middle East' once more renewed a long abandoned idea in the minds of many Arabs, especially Palestinians, that resistance was not futile after all. New terminology also sprung. Words that were not uttered, at least not in any realistic context, in decades, began encroaching into Arab vocabulary: ‘victory’, ‘resistance’, ‘Arab nation’ with ‘one fate’, ‘one future’, and so on.

17-01-2009 09:40

Although the Israelis intentions to drive the Palestinian people of Gaza out of what is now basically Israel have been pretty clear for so;e time the fact that British Gas (BG Group Plc) have the rights to extract a large quantity of Gas from just off the gaza coast could give them an added incentive. BG negotiating with the Israeli government but not anymore.

Plans for new Pirbright Animal Lab

16-01-2009 21:09

There are plans for a new animal testing lab in Pirbright in Surrey. The blighted lab was the centre of the Foot and Mouth pandemic leaked into the water supply that saw thousands of animals killed by the army. This place should be shut down, not expanded. The £121 million lab is behind schedule and over budget. They are asking that the government bail them out. This can be stopped.
